French Rock Bands COLT SILVERS And LAST TRAIN Are Doing An Extensive India Tour

Curated and created by the French Institute in India, in association with Alliance Francaise, Bonjour India festival is one of the biggest and the most ambitious initiatives between France and India. With an aim to strengthen the Indo-French ties, Bonjour India will serve as a platform for innovation and creativity. As a part of their rock tour, this year’s edition will see Colt Silvers and Last Train for the first time in India with a massive 11 city tour, spanning across the month of November and December.

Colt Silvers‘, Julien states, “We are very excited and honoured to be performing in India for the first time. We are really stoked about going on a 10 city India tour and experiencing the culture and tradition of this vast country. As a precautionary measure we have all been vaccinated and can’t wait to taste the traditional food of India. We are good to go! We are currently promoting our latest album SWORDS. In comparison to the album, the sound we create on stage is a hundred times more intense. We are ready to hit the road!”

Last Train says, “It is an amazing thing to come to India. For everyone in the band it is the very first time in this country. We’ve been touring in Asia for the last 2 years, in Japan, Vietnam and China, but India is still another territory, totally different!!

We are impressed, that a French rock band like us, can have the opportunity to go there. Of course we are excited about the Indian food, even if we are a bit scared. It is not really in our French culture, eating spicy things. But we will try! Anything new can always be a good experience. And it’s like, that we can grow up, and keep on playing music.

We are also looking forward to hearing and listening to Indian music, and if possible Indian traditional music. One member of LAST TRAIN used to play guitar and bass guitar with a sitar player. If we have time during this tour to see a traditional Indian music show, that would be awesome!”

This tour is being presented by Mumbai based music management company, Mixtape. They’ve been actively working with international talent who want to develop a market for themselves in the country and have organized tours for notable artists including Tinariwen (Mali),Telefon Tel Aviv (LA), Clap! Clap! (IT), Micronaut (Germany), Bjorn Torske (Norway), Bill Brewster (UK), DubiozaKollektiv (Bosnia) to name a few.
